you will need a steering wheel puller its the easiest way you can do it by far, probably pick one up from repco or something for a few dollars?( ive seen some people do it with a Punch and Hammer Not recommended tho, dodgy way) make sure you leave the nut on at the end of the thread so it doesnt hit you in the face when it pops off .Its pretty straight forward once you take the old one off fit boss kit, clip on wire for horn then screw the steering wheel on to the boss kit, very simple and the boss kit should come with some sort of instructions :(

the horn cover on the series 1 wheel comes off by pulling it. it feels like it wont, and then click, it pops off (the first time i did it i was looking for screws on the back, there are none).

you'll have a hicas boss kit. make sure you line it up straight when u put it on. ive heard ppl had the hicas light come on the dash when its put on wrong.

As 95SKY said, leave the nut on the end of the thread for safety to save a broken nose. Then put a hand on each side of the wheel while sitting in the seat (I move the seat forward so I'm nice and close) and pull hard while 'shaking' the wheel. It won't come off if you just pull it, you need to shock or work it off so 'shake' it, ie alternate the pulling force from left to right side.

If needed get someone to hit a punch on the end of the thread as you're doing this to help.

Good Luck

Hey guys just picked up a free boss kit and steering wheel, the boss kit fits a cressida but it fits my spline on my 32 gts also, the question i have is does the plastic assembley with the brass plate inside it (located just behind the stock steering wheel) come apart so i can get my horn working with this boss kit which has a brass ring which is meant to fit onto and brass plate for the horn... seems to have a few clips and everything but i didnt want to pull on things too hard incase it broke and didnt actually fit my boss kit. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? and have a solution other than buying a new boss kit cos im poor as and thats not an option at the moment.

Thanks in advance, Steve.

hi

the puller to use is a plate puller that bolts on using m6 bolts then the centre screw pushes on the steering shaft to remove the wheel.. its a handy tool because it is also used to remove the harmonic balancer off the motor with no damage[timing belt replacement].

if you have an r32 the straight ahead position sensor is different on early and later models so make sure when the wheel is straight that the big slot in the sensor wheel is inside the opto trap or else after 10 minutes of freeway driving you will get the warning light because the straight ahead signal will be not recieved too long. It wont happen in the suburbs because you are alway turning the wheel you will get the straight ahead signal when you are turning.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
